Artist, Cat Specialist

Pet care experience

I am an artist working from home. I grow up with dogs and living with two adorable cats since 10 years. I am from Istanbul, the city of stray cats and dogs, may you know. I have been actively working in aid efforts related to the daily routine feeding, needs and care of hundreds of stray cats and dogs for about 11 years. I helped pregnant animals, kittens, especially motherless babies who needed extra care, and sick animals with low immunity, to hold them on to life by not sleeping at night when necessary. Now I continue my life in Philadelphia and I’d be very happy to help you and our little friends. When we talk about dogs and cats, we know that each animal's character is different. You can be sure that I will approach your pet by first observing him/her, determining the most appropriate communication that will make him/her feel comfortable and safe. In your absence, i’ll not only feed your pet, but also spend some more time to play and pet him/her to make him/her not feel lonely. If your pet needs medication or special needs, I can also take care of him/her as per your instructions. I also have a very well knowledge about plants, i have a huge tropical plants collection. I can also take care of your plants when it is needed.

Berna was wonderful - Great communication, attention to details & tons of photos of our girls. Even our shy girl, Miss Scout, came out of her shell for Berna. Can’t reccomend enough :)

We’ve used Berna many times before and she’s great. Most recently our cat was diagnosed with kidney disease just before going away for two weeks. She and another sitter were great in starting new feeding and medicine routine. She was in constant communication (both with us and the other sitter) about how our cat was doing with the new food and worked with us to get her eating and taking her new meds (including bringing some of her cat food over) We were away for a long time yet felt completely comfortable that she was in good hands. Berna gave thorough updates and many photos after each visit.

I always feel peace of mind when Berna checks in on my cat while I am away! She is great at sending a lot of pictures/updates and playing with my very playful young cat!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
